Did I damage my rentals flooring or would this be considered normal wear and tear?
We’re getting ready to move out of our current rental unit so I have my move out goggles on. I noticed that our couche’s legs have left a small circular dent in the laminate flooring. we had noticed more shallow versions of that with an arm chair we have and so we put floor protectors on the feet to prevent further damage.
Will these divots in the laminate flooring be considered damage for which my landlord could keep the entire damage deposit as the only way to get rid of them would be to refloor?
I honestly don’t think it would impede the next tenant and they’ll probably leave it as is (it’s a property management company owned building) but I just want to be prepared for what may come up.
Thanks in advance for any experiences you can share!
